A Precious Promise

A Favorite Poem

~Footprints in the Sand~

"One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,

“You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”"

~Mary Stevenson, 1936

To Be Known In Christ & To Follow Him

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." John 10:27

I want to follow Jesus Christ closely.
Right behind Him
Know Him
And hear His voice
I want this blog to be a light for Him
To encourage others to strengthen their walk
{And to be encouraged too}
Or come and follow Him
And find rest in His arms.

I pray you all are having a blessed week
And that your following Jesus will be stronger everyday!

"And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them;
and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice." John 10:4

Praise Him...

"Praise Him who went before to search out a Resting-place. May it be a place of victory too, for His own glory's sake."

First Blog Post - Rest

~ A Restful Place ~

Where do we find rest? Who do we find rest in? Our answer to these 2 questions should be the same, "Jesus our Lord". There are many other things we find rest in, like: our home, our family, reading, baking, sewing, music, babies etc. but our ultimate rest should be in the arms of Him who created us. GOD. He has commanded us to come to Him and rest.

Rest in Him!
